I woke up at 2pm today, after a nice long 11 hours of sleep. Catching up on sleep good :-).

I had an email from Gordon, saying there was an ominous peice of mail for me, from SFU Library loans department. I decide to go down there to take a look at it...

They wanted to bill me $11 in fines, so I went down to see the library people. Get this at what happened: Originally, because I was working for TechBC during the changeover, I got an SFU library number. The only details that were listed for me were staff and my address was entered as TechBC. No phone number. Now, thanks to their lovely policy of changing loan periods from a semester down to 3 weeks, a book I had taken out, originally due 3-January-2002 was now overdue, them having wanted it back on November 18th. They tried to notify me of this fact, via postal mail, which I never recieved, because my address was listed only as TechBC. They also didn't have any email address in the system for me, thanks to the same bloopers. The only reason I got the mail about a large fine was because it got passed thru several people at TechBC SFU@Surrey to get to me. Anyway, after chatting to them, and they found this was the problem, they changed the details they had listed for me in the library system, and cancelled my $11 fine.

I also then took out a tripod for the weekend to do some photography of christmas lights and so forth.
